Neuromuscular fatigue during a long-duration cycling exercise

Abstract: The effects of prolonged cycling on neuromuscular parameters were studied in nine endurance-trained subjects during a 5-h exercise sustained at 55% of the maximal aerobic power. Torque during maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the quadriceps muscle decreased progressively throughout the exercise (P < 0.01) and was 18% less at the end of exercise compared with the preexercise value. Peak twitch torque, contraction time, and total area of mechanical response decreased significantly (P < 0.05) after the first… Show more

“…2c). Over the 120 min simulated soccer match, central fatigue tended to be exacerbated, and this duration-dependent contribution of central processes to fatigue is broadly evident across a range of exercise modes (Lepers et al 2002;Place et al 2004;Thomas et al 2015). In this study, there was a pattern of a progressive decrease in voluntary activation across 120 min of the SMS (pre vs. HT; HT vs.…”

“…Few studies, if any exist in the literature that use a central or general fatigue protocol to evaluate dynamic postural control especially in athletes with chronic ankle instability. Lepers et al (2002) used a cycling bout protocol, but did not examine dynamic postural control (Susco et al, 2004). Susco et al (2004) and Wilkins et al (2004) used this functional fatiguing protocol, but evaluated the subject's performance on the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), a measure of static balance.…”

“…Low-frequency fatigue was present if there was a significant decrease in the Qtw response to the single twitch and the T2 response to the 10-Hz twitch immediately after exercise and if these decreases persisted with a gradual return toward control values by 70 min postexercise. The within-twitch responses to each single supramaximal 1-Hz stimulus (nonpotentiated and potentiated) and to each paired 100-Hz stimuli were analyzed for peak force (Qtw,peak), contraction time (CT), maximal rate of force development (MRFD), one-half relaxation time (RT0.5), and maximal relaxation rate (MRR) (31).…”
